The town of Walsall is where we are based, right in the heart of the centre on Lichfield Street. Of course, Walsall has more to offer, whether you’re a local looking for a brush-up on what’s around, or you’re new to the area.

Therefore, here is our quick top-ten list of things to watch out for in Walsall. Some are just one venue, whilst others are more a wider category:

2. Libraries & Museum

Getting a little more educated and talk of local Walsall Libraries, there is the main Walsall Central Council House Library on Lichfield Street with good accessibility, but also others around the town like Aldridge District Library, Bloxwich District Library, Brownhills District Library, Darleston District Library, Willenhall District Library, Streetly Community Library, and even a Mobile Library Service.

3. Walsall College

This is worth a mention, and in partocular the Broadway Campus part of the College on Littleton Street which has the new The Hub which has other facilities such as sport centre, restaurant, training centre and room hire.

6. Arboretum

The Arboretum park is worth a special mention as it’s not far from ourselves, and having far more to it than first meets the eye. It’s the large park just off the north part of the town centre, with separate car park and easy walk access.

After refurbishment works there is Visitor Centre with a coffee shop and events facility near the lakes, various sport facilities such as tennis courts and bowling, childrens play area, and lots of general grassed and walking areas.

7. Bus and Train Stations

These are essential for good public transport routes, with a train station based on Station Street just off the town centre, and two main bus stations at St Pauls Bus Station and Walsall Bus Station.

8. Car Parks

Always needed with today’s traveling needs, particularly to the town centre. There’s the one at the Saddlers Centre for when you’re on a shopping spree, an NCP on Freer Street, or Hatherton Road Multi Storey Car Park.

Otherwise you’ll see other smaller ones dotted around, and don’t forget those connected to say retailers like Tesco and Morrisons as well.

9. Coffee Shops

They’re great to hang-out at no matter what time of day or occasion, including big-names like Starbucks at both the Village Hotel and Crown Wharf Shopping Centre, and Costa Coffee at the Saddlers Shopping Centre, New Art Gallery, or two at junction 9 at Gallagher Retail Park and the Drive Thru at Axeltree Way.

But don’t forget other local and special ones Like Coffee Comforts, and the one in the Walsall Arboretum Visitor Centre.

10. Ikea

It’s worth a special mention as most other towns would love the convenience of an Ikea store direct on their door step. It’s technically called Ikea Birmingham (Wednesbury) on Park Lane, however with being on the edge of the main Gallagher Shopping Park at junction 9 of the M6, then it’s right on the edge of Walsall with good road access.

Even if you're not there to buy, the Ikea restaurant is a good-value place to meet for food or drink.
